If my employment term was only for 5 months as stated on my IRP5, will I get my tax contribution back since its less than six month? Ive heard that you need to work a minimum of six months in one tax year to be taxable.

If you only worked for 5 months and paid tax on that income earned you could receive a Tax refund, however this depends on the income you earned over the 5 month period.
